at least when it comes to consumer tech
like i can't even remember the last time i was excited for a new tech thing. maybe my second smart phone, i guess? that one was at least a big improvement from my first one. third was marginally better, and then the fourth, which i'm using now, i feel like i only got because of planned obsolescence (slow down/battery problems etc.)
it's such a stark contrast from growing up in the 90s/early 2000s
streaming is super cool! even cooler when done by pirates!
yeah streaming and piracy is really cool and I wish it had existed as a kid. I guess piracy back then was copying one of your friend's mixtapes.
i'm a luddite, i still download all my music from soulseek
someday if i have money maybe i'll have something new to share there
